DIY Homemade Oobleck

If you have a child under the age of 15, you likely have seen a video for or had your kids ask to you make Oobleck. It’s typically right up there with making slime or custom Pom-Pom rugs, and while it’s fun to make, it has an even better origin story!

If you find yourself thinking, “Oobleck” is a really silly name, sounds like someone just made it up because it sounds funny… read more

Moms, the day that’s all about you is almost here—Mother’s Day! With everything you do as a super mom, you’ve earned a day of “R & R.”

The trouble with a lot of the “Sleep Help” products and recipes out there is that they are full of fillers or chemicals you might not want on your pillow while you sleep at night!

Thankfully, you can make it a day to rest easy with this DIY Calming Lavender Pillow Spray. My husband actually made this with my girls as a surprise and I loved how it helped me relax at bed time!

Enjoy this yourself, or make this with your kiddos for other moms who could use a little more rest in their lives!

• 8 oz. glass spray bottle
• Lavender Essential Oil
• 1 tbs. Witch Hazel
• Distilled water

1. Pour 1 tbs. witch hazel and drop 30 drops of Lavender Essential Oil into the glass spray bottle
2. Fill the remainder with distilled water
3. Screw on lid and shake to mix
4. Spray on your pillow and rest easy!

The great thing is that this simple recipe has what you need to relax but doesn’t have any additives or other things that you might have to worry about having around the house. It’s hard to be 3 ingredients for simplicity!

I’ve used this same formula for my daughters rooms as well, and it truly works!

Do you use any sort of pillow spray? If so, What’s your preferred essential oil?

A Baby Journal You Will Actually Use!

So be honest with me…

How many of you were actually good about putting things in your children’s “Baby Books”?

My eldest daughter Aidalyn found her baby book when were going through some things in her room, and she guilted me pretty hard on not having much of anything in it! Total #MomWin right there

I love the idea of using a Baby book to remember things that I KNOW I’ll end up forgetting, but a written book just wasn’t cutting it for me.

Enter Qeepsake!

I learned about Qeepsake after seeing it on Shark Tank and I thought “Wow! That’s an awesome idea for saving memories for my girls!”

Anyways, I decided to try it out!

Side note: if you are looking for a good physical baby book, I’ve had several people recommend “My Baby Book” from Amy Krouse Rosenthal to me. It’s super cute and has some fun features if you do still want a physical book to write in!

So what is Qeepsake?

Qeepsake is a service designed to send you routine text messages (or Facebook messages if you prefer) asking short questions about your children. You simply reply to the messages and your answers are stored in your account!

Here is a sample of the questions it will ask you and save your answers. It’s all pretty seamless and simple!

Even better, you can make an actual printed book later of the answers and photos you share, or you can just enjoy looking at it online for fun!

I know I’m not the only mom who would love an easy way to keep track of all the funny sayings and memories of my kids… but let’s be real right?

I can actually do this!

If you want to try it out with me, head here to try it for free!

Qeepsake Lite is free but doesn’t have all the available features. If you find you like it, there are plans from $1.99 a month to $7.99 a month that unlock photos, multiple users, and more. I ended up going ahead and going the premium route because it works so nicely 🙂

If you want to sign-up, please use my referral link. It won’t cost you any extra but I would sure appreciate it! 🙂

Pro Tip! Qeepsake has the ability to connect to your Instagram and Facebook accounts and directly add a post you share to your account to save for later. You just use #qeepsake and it all works perfectly!

Have you tried Qeepsake or another online baby book option? Share your experience with us so others can make an informed decision!

The best thing about fall is the holiday scents… what am I saying? The best thing about fall is EVERYTHING!!

But mama can’t be simmering a pot of apple cider on the stove every day, amiright?

and I don’t love burning candles… fires and kids sort of make me visualize this happening in my house:

via GIPHY

Plus, you really don’t know what you are breathing in when you burn a conventional candle. Most are filled with artificial scents – and I’m just not sure I want to be breathing that in all day. read more
